Tips & Warnings
The three most important things to consider when selecting the proper build are hard drive, processor, and battery life. If you want to store a lot of data or media on your device, opt for a larger hard drive. If you wish to use more demanding programs, or run more programs simultaneously, choose a higher-end processor. Finally, consider how you will be using the laptop; if you will be unable to charge the laptop for long periods of time, you may wish to purchase a smaller laptop with a longer battery life.
